An individual in the helping profession such as a psychiatrist or psychologist do receive training in the termination process with a client. If they didn't receive this training, then their training was lacking in proper protocol.

We're not discussing employers. other companies, friends, family members, etc. The topic was specifically about how a person's treatment was ended via form letter. A therapeutic alliance is hopefully established with a client and ending it in such a manner is outright unethical and morally irresponsible. Just because technology has evolved doesn't wipe out the proper way to handle delicate situations. Being a client of a psychiatrist most definitely falls into the "delicate" category. Not to mention the possible harm that could result by a so called professional handling a termination in this way.
